Not bad. The only part that I didn't like was the fraps.com thing at the top of the video. But that's pretty minor(and not any different than some of the stuff in my videos).

Good first video.

Thanks! You're right, if I keep doing this I should buy Fraps instead of using the free version. (I do kind of like being limited to 30 sec of recording b/c otherwise I'd probably leave it on too long and end up with 500MB clips.) Garrus is too cool to have "FRAPS" pasted on his forehead, though.

Do you have a link to your vids? How do you deal with headgear? I see a lot of people have their Shepards go bareheaded, but I kind of like the motocross look. I didn't want to leave the helmet on in every shot, but then worried I was being too inconsistent. Eyepiece, nothing, helmet, eyepiece... Is it better just to stick with one look?

Too true. Garrus needs the screen all to himself. Except for FemShep. But that goes without saying.

I have a list of my current ones right here:

And with headgear, I just leave my Shepard bareheaded. No visor, no helmet, no nothing. I have his/her helmet on only if the other characters have theirs on as well. Otherwise, it looks like Shepard is being a wimp. But maybe that's just me.

As for recording methods, I use Dazzle to record off my Xbox, since I don't play on the PC. And I use the free software that comes with it(Pinnacle 12). If I end up upgrading to a editing software that actually worth a damn, I'll probably reshoot all my videos. The Pinnacle 12 software puts little white lines at the top of my videos. They get annoying. It's also buggy as hell. I wouldn't recommend it.

Oo, I like your Garrus and Miranda vids! I didn't notice any white lines.

Funny, I'm the opposite re headgear. I keep thinking "Why the hell aren't you people (NPCs) wearing helmets? It's all fun and games until someone gets shrapnel in his eye!"

I'm using VideoPad on the PC. It's pretty easy to use and doesn't crash too often (was also hooked by the free 14 day trial download at CNET) , but it can't do much besides line up clips with maybe a crossfade and some B&W action. Sony Vegas looks amazing but I'm not sure I can justify spending the money. Fraps will probably be my next investment if I decide to keep making vids.
